This stunning 800 year old château is located in the heart of a lush valley in the Dordogne region of South West France has been in the same aristocratic French family since it was built. It can be rented in its entirety or by wing/room at certain times of the year. Château de la Bourlie is currently home to artist Cyril de Commarque and his family, and has been sympathetically renovated – a medieval kitchen was preserved whilst a contemporary kitchen created for the chef. The juxtaposition of old and new here is brilliant.

“I wanted to create a family home with soul.  The house is early Edwardian and double fronted with good size rooms and high ceilings. To enhance the existing architectural character whilst retaining warmth and charm I pared back unnecessary detail by opening rooms where possible.  I then introduced a simple elegant style with a good balance of texture and colour.”
